Porn is a 70-year-old fruit seller from Cambodia. She has six daughters, ten grandchildren, and enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio and visiting the pagoda during holidays.
One year ago, Porn developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
Porn learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, and traveled there seeking treatment. On January 6th doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
“I hope that I will be able to see well again so can go outside and recognize objects, and help cook for my family,” she said.
